The Fiddler and the Frog
Once upon a time
On a billabong
a frog croaked out his billabong song
It was harmony of nature
The stars looked on
And all was peaceful - nothing was wrong
At the height of the full moon
A fiddler appeared
And razed the night with his off key tune
The frog croaked louder
the stars looked on
The fiddler kept playing on and on
But something was wrong
Something was wrong
Nature’s harmony was gone
So the fiddler switched
With a knowing smile
And all the while and all the while
He plucked his bow
In rhythm with the frog
And the stars looked down
The stars looked down
